On the streets of London
they celebrated her one summer's day,
and reveling in her beauty and kindness
knowing the prestige she brought to the tarnishing crown,
they packed the mall
with their aqua-laden eyelashes,
her subjects crying out her goddess name
they threw flowers everywhere
expecting heirs,
she opened the island's heart-chakra,
finally, the Anglo-Saxons could emote,
by a sacrifice of her own youth,
there to challenge the cold colonialists,
the Queen of Hearts,
Lady Di

Once More Unto The Breach
He let the sword slip through his other gauntleted hand. Athlistan stood atop the crest of the rubble of Bordanium’s ruptured curtain wall. Beyond, the remnants of the Saxon’s first assault regrouped. They would come again–Athlistan knew it.

Yes, she was highly thought of and represented a turning point for the Royals in showing that stuffiness and detachment were not the way to win the hearts of your subjects, nor their respect. Our Royal family are now much more open and demonstrative as a result. The Queen may not have liked her much but I think she learned from her.
Well written! Good job!
Nice poem!
